I. At have mentioned that Ms Beardy the elder got married last weekend (and a fine day was had by all thankyouforasking)
But I was wondering...
It was traditional that a lady changed her surname when she married, to that of her newly betrothed. So I had reconciled myself to accepting this change with good grace, although I did wonder if, as is now often the case, she would keep her maiden name from professional reasons. But no, she likes to do thinks her own way does Ms B the E, and so they both changed their names by deed pole to a new name to both of them.
So as I say, i was wondering, is it wrong to be a little bit happy that in changing her name from mine, she also rejected his name and invented a new name for them both entirely?
